In Suspension

After some consideration I realized that one of the few things I own which cannot be replaced are the files on this laptop I now hold; a baffling amount of writing, essays, poems, shorts, and three novels, along with all manner of other important information (Starcraft I maps?). And with the laptop due for another backing-up and with no time at the moment to do it, the decision to leave my computer at home while I rendezvous with family in New York was an easy one. That, and the small amount of downtime I envision having.

That’s the reason why this Monday’s post is largely without substance, though I didn’t think I’d get to post anyway. Gadflies last week was a wash, but regardless of the disinterest of others, Jordan and I managed to pose some challenging arguments for and against God (most against, since Jordan did most of the talking) and the considerations (and refutations) of them are worthy subject matter for future posts.

Note also that there may be no post Monday, as the energy required to deal with family business may very will mix with intense travel time to produce a very heady drought. One that prevents me from the total consciousness required to deal with Intense Theological Issues (although I would like people to think about the validity of this argument; I’m almost ready to go back into it).

In these situations I try to leave everyone off with something interesting to read in the meantime. Teddy provided me with this, which seems like it might be trying to corner a market in a direction Google seemed to be going in. I am always amazed at the innocence with which Teddy shows me these things, as if I didn’t have enough things to waste my time with.

The other thing I’ve realized is that after two years of blogging, I don’t have any idea who my target audience is on this thing. Somehow I get hits. The causal connection remains wholly mysterious to me.
